FOREWORD. 



We are presenting herewith the results of the forest survey of 
Plymouth County, the second county to be so studied. The 
field work of collecting the data here included was carried out 
under the general direction of Mr. P. D. Kneeland, M.F., 
assistant forester in charge of utilization, while the crew in the 
field was in charge of Mr. H. E. Henshaw. The work of com- 
pilation and of arranging the data in the form of a bulletin was 
undertaken by Mr. James J. Morris. 

The facts developed in these county surveys are now tabu- 
lated for the first time, and cannot be arrived at in any other 
manner. It is believed that they will prove valuable to those 
interested in our present and future forestry development. 

F. W. RANE, 

State Forester. 



THE FORESTS OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Explanation of Survey. 

The survey of the several towns of Plymouth County is the 
second work of this kind attempted by the State forestry 
department. The other survey, that of Worcester County, was 
carried on at odd times, and extended over a period of three 
years. The data were collected and published last winter in the 
form of a bulletin, which was entitled " The Forests of Worcester 
County." 

In the W^orcester County bulletin the reasons for making 
forest surveys of the different counties of Massachusetts were 
explained in detail, but it will not be amiss here to review 
briefly some of the main reasons. 

Every manufacturing concern or business of any kind at 
some time or other takes an inventory of its stock. Without 
such an inventory no business can be carried on to the best 
advantage. The stock, or raw material, of forestry work is 
forest land, and since the State forestry department of Massa- 
chusetts is just what its name implies, the raw material with 
which this department must deal is the forest lands of Massa- 
chusetts. 

If the woodlands of Massachusetts were made up of but one 
or two species of trees, or if the various species of trees were all 
of the same height or diameter size, this inventory would be a 
comparativel}' simple matter. But such conditions do not exist. 
Scattered throughout the State are many different kinds of trees 
differing greatly in importance, value, life habits, etc., from 
each other. Moreover, since the woodlands have been repeat- 
edly cut over at different times for many years, we find existing 
a variegated collection of trees of all sizes and conditions; in 
fact, nearly every woodlot differs to a greater or less extent 
from others. 



Method of Survey. 

In Worcester County each town was covered by one man, 
who did all the field work. In Plymouth County the men 
worked in a crew, each man covering a certain assigned section 
of the town which was being mapped. When one town was 
finished the men moved on to the next. There were several 
distinct advantages in this arrangement. Since the men camped 
in tents it was possible for them to choose a central location for 
their camp site and thus save time, inasmuch as in going to and 
from their work they were not obliged to cover the same ground 
as they would have been had they stopped at a farmhouse or 
hotel in one corner of the town, as was often the case in 
Worcester County. The cost of the survey was also lighter, the 
only expense incurred being for foodstuffs, since the men and 
camp equipment were moved from place to place by one of the 
department trucks. 

For the main part, however, the methods followed in making 
this survey were similar to those followed in Worcester County. 
The men worked by compass and pace, using a copy of the 
United States topographical map as a guide map for each 
town. Each man would start at some convenient point on a 
road or edge of a pond and run a straight line through to the 
town line and then back to the opposite town line on a course 
parallel to the first, but one-half mile distant. Care was taken 
when laying off these parallel lines to have them cut the roads 
so far as possible; that is, if the majority of the roads in a cer- 
tain town ran in an easterly and westerly direction the strips 
were run in a northerly and southerly direction, or vice' versa. 
Cutting the roads in this manner enabled the men to get a 
truer idea of the actual forest conditions, and it was possible to 
obtain a more accurate average, because if the strips were run 
in the general direction of the roads some of them would paral- 
lel the roads, and since in most cases the type found along the 
roadsides, which is largely tillage, is not typical of the land 
lying a few hundred feet farther in, the data obtained in this 
way would not be trustworthy, as the lines would show an 
amount of farm and tillage land out of proportion to actual 
conditions. 



For convenience and brevity in the field, symbols representing 
the various types, diameter classes, moth infestations, etc., were 
used. These symbols are somewhat similar to those used in the 
previous survey. The map work of each town has been com- 
pleted, and photographic enlargements of the topographical 
maps used as a base are to be found at the office of the State 
Forester. These maps show the strip lines which were run in 
each town, and contain a symbolic explanation of the different 
types, size classes, etc. Tables containing summaries computed 
from the information obtained from the field work are contained 
in this bulletin. 

The following diagram may serve to illustrate the method 
used in making this survey: —

Lines 1, 2, 3 and 4, running approximately east and west, 
represent strip lines one-half mile apart. On Line 1, and near 
the top of the plate, are the symbols "E S 5, 1600'." Consult- 
ing the legend we learn that along this line for a distance of 



8 

1,600 feet were found oak and birch of sprout size in mixture, 
the number 5 representing the size class. Oak predominates, 
since the letter ^'E," representing oak, precedes the letter "S," 
representing birch. ' 

Forest Types. 

On account of the difference in topographical and climatic 
conditions, the types of Plymouth County vary to a consider- 
able extent from those of Worcester County. Following is a 
list of types used and a brief explanation of each: — 

JVhite Pine. — This type consists of white pine in pure 
stands, that is, in stands made up of 80 per cent, or more of 
the one species. There is still a considerable amount of this 
type found throughout the county in spite of repeated cuttings 
and fires. It may be safely stated that there are several million 
feet of this type of good merchantable size, although it is some- 
what scattered and found as a rule in stands of small areas. 

Pine and Oak. — Stands of this kind are made up of 70 per 
cent, or more of white pine and oak in mixture. It is a com- 
mon type. Sometimes the proportion of oak is greater than 
that of pine, while at other times there is about an equal 
amount of each. In all cases, however, the oak and pine in 
combination form at least 70 per cent, of the total stand, the 
remainder being made up of maple, pitch pine and unimportant 
hardwoods. This type is generally found on the higher gravelly 
lands. 

Pine and Mayle. — Substituting maple for the oak, this type 
is similar to the preceding. It is not so common as that of the 
pine and oak, and is generally found in low or swampy lands. 

Oak. — This forms the largest type. It embraces stands 
made up of 80 per cent, or more of oak. A xevj Jarge pro- 
portion in size class 5 is made up of the so-called scrub oak. 
More than one-half of the total for the county is of a diameter 
size too small for cordwood. There is, however, a considerable 
amount large enough for saw-logs. 

Maple {Swamp Type). — Consists of nearly pure stands of 
maple. This type is found on low, wet land, and is fairly com- 
mon. A good proportion is made up of species of cordwood 
size, with a moderate representation of the larger size classes. 
. Pitch Pine Type. — Next to the oak this is the largest indi- 



vidual type found. It is found in all size classes, but more than 
50 per cent, consists of the No. 5, or smallest, class. It is often 
found in pure stands, but generally contains some other tree in 
mixture. Scrub oak is its most common associate. 

Size Classes. 

In the Worcester County survey but four size classes were 
used. As an experiment it was decided in the Plymouth survey 
to split the No. 4 size in two, thus forming five size classes, and 
differentiating the small brush from saplings. Except for for- 
estry purposes, such as determining more exactly the type of 
land on which planting might be done without preliminary 
brushing, the result does not warrant the distinction. Follow- 
ing is an explanation of the various classes : — 

No. 1 forms the largest size class, and contains species whose 
diameters breast high average 10 inches or better, and whose 
height will average 60 to 80 feet. 

No. 2 represents trees whose average diameters run from 8 to 
10 inches, and whose height will average about 50 to 70 feet. 

No. 3 constitutes the cordwood size, and species of this class 
average about 5 inches in diameter and 40 to 50 feet in height. 

No. 4 embraces saplings and small cordwood, or thrash. 
Trees falling in this diameter class average about 2 inches in 
diameter and 30 to 40 feet in height. 

No. 5 is formed of very young sprout or stunted growth, 
such as scrub oak, stunted pitch pine, etc. In no case do the 
diameters run higher than 2 inches. 

Non-forest Types. 

Tillage and Hay. — Land covered by this heading is all under 
cultivation. Included in this type is all the farming and agri- 
cultural land, with the exception of pasture and cranberry bogs. 

Pasture. — In the Worcester survey much land which could 
not be classed exactly as No. 5 forest type, owing to the small 
amount of wood growth on it, and yet which was not actually 
used as grazing land, was classed as brush pasture. 

In this survey the heading "Pasture" includes only such 
lands as are actually used as such. This accounts to a certain 



10 

extent for the great difference in the pasture totals of Worcester 
and Plymouth counties. 

Water. — All inland waters fall under this classification : 
ponds, lakes, rivers and brooks. The figures are a little lower 
than those of the Waterways Commission, but considering the 
necessarily rough method in which they were obtained the 
results are very satisfactory. 

Residential. — This term explains itself. It also includes 
business sections, cemeteries, fair grounds, etc. 

Cranberry Bog. — Much of the low, mucky lands along 
streams is suitable for the raising of cranberries, and advantage 
has been taken of this fact. The area covered by these bogs, 
although almost negligible as compared to the total area of the 
county, is, nevertheless, worthy of mention because of the im- 
portance of the product. 

Marsh. — This term has been used to cover two distinct 
types. In seacoast towns it applies to salt marsh, while in 
inland towns it covers the open swamps. 

Plymouth County. 

Plymouth County lies in the southeast corner of Massa- 
chusetts, just north of Cape Cod. It contains approximately 
440,000 acres. Plymouth, a town of about 13,000 population, 
situated on the coast in the central and eastern part, is the 
county seat. Brockton is the commercial center, and is im- 
portant from an industrial standpoint. Other important towns 
are Middleborough, Whitman, Bridgewater and Rockland. All 
of these towns contain manufactories of various kinds, princi- 
pally shoes. 

In the western part the Cape Cod branch of the New York, 
New Haven & Hartford Railroad runs in a northerly and 
southerly direction the entire length of the county, while 
another branch follows the eastern coast line as far south as 
Plymouth. A line of the same road running east and west con- 
nects Plymouth and Middleborough, and in the north a con- 
necting line runs to Plymouth. Electric roads traverse the 
county in various directions, connecting all the principal cities 
and towns. On the whole, it may be said that the railroad 
facilities in the county are good, except in the southern part. 



11 

The products of the county are many and varied. Among 
the most important may be mentioned shoes, rope, cotton 
cloth, rubber products, boxes, crates, shocks and shoemaking 
tools. 

The important farming products are hay, potatoes, cranber- 
ries and miscellaneous vegetables. Dairying is not now a very 
important industry, and is becoming less so year after year. 
Stock and poultry raising is practiced to a slight extent. 

Along the seashore are many fine summer resorts. Hundreds 
of fine residences have been built, and these resorts are con- 
stantly attracting people in larger numbers to enjoy the ocean 
scenery for which the shores of eastern and southern Plymouth 
Count}^ are justly famous. 

Tocography and Soils. 

Running practically the entire eastern length of the county, 
along the coast, and extending inland roughly about 5 miles, is 
a strip of rolling, knobby land with basin-like intervales. The 
hills are mostly rounded, irregular of distribution, and in very 
rare cases rise beyond 100 feet in altitude. This strip is made 
up of a terminal moraine, and is more rugged than the other 
sections of the county. 

The remainder, which means practically the whole of the 
county, is made up of a level to gentle rolling topography. The 
elevation of the hills ranges from 100 to 200 feet. Numerous 
ponds abound, among the principal of which may be mentioned 
Assawompsett, Long Pond and Quittacas, all situated mainly 
or in part in the town of Lakeville. Several swamps of large 
areas also occur, the Great Cedar Swamps of Bridgewater and 
Middleborough being the most important. 

The drainage of the county is effected mainly through several 
small rivers and their tributaries. TheWeweantic River drains 
to the south into Buzzards Bay. The Taunton River, empty- 
ing into Mount Hope Bay, drains part of the western and cen- 
tral areas. Weir and Fresh rivers are the principal streams in 
the north, while North, South and Jones rivers drain to the 
east. Other important streams are the Mattapoisett, Wankinco, 
Agawam and Sippican. Many of the ponds and lakes through- 
out the county have no apparent outlet, and it is possible, par- 



12 

ticularly so in the eastern section, that they empty into the 
ocean through a subterranean flow which drains to a consider- 
able extent the whole coi;ntry. 

Monk's Hill in Kingston is the highest elevation in the 
county. 

The soils of the northern part of Phonouth County are 
mostly, a light to heavy fine sandy loam, with outcroppings of 
granite, gneiss and schist. Much of this soil is forested, but 
that which is cultivated produces good and various crops. The 
sandier and stony types are found mostly in pastures. 

Although the larger part of the soils of the central and south- 
ern sections are also sandy loam, they are coarser than those of 
the northern section, and carry a considerable amount of gravel 
and fine pebbles. Through Plymouth, Wareham and Middle- 
borough deposits of muck occur. This soil is used extensively 
for growing cranberries, and, as shown in the tables, quite a 
sizable area is under cultivation. 

Forest Conditions. 

In the reports of the overseers of the earlier Plymouth County 
settlements reference is often made to the forests, but such ref- 
erences contain very scanty information as to their composition. 
It is probable, however, that at the time of the landing of the 
Pilgrims the greater part of the county was forested with large 
and thrifty virgin stands of white and pitch pine, oak and 
maple, — pine in uplands, oak and maple in lowlands. 

We know that much of the pine was cut and shipped to 
England to be used for masts for the English navy, and also 
that England depended to a large extent upon New England 
pitch pine for her naval stores. 

The original forest types exist to-day, but in a much depleted 
condition. Over large areas fires have swept repeatedly, burn- 
ing off the humus — the forest floor covering — and greatl}' im- 
poverishing the soil in many sections. From these fire-swept 
areas the original white or pitch pine stands have disappeared, 
and in their places are growths of scrub pitch pine and oak. 

Throughout the greater portion of the county, however; white 
pine can be grown, and areas now given over to scrub oak 
should be reforested. On the sandier areas Scotch and good 



13 

grade pitch pine could be grown with success. In fact, refor- 
estation has been carried on successfully in nearlj^ all parts of 
the county. The State Forest Commission has recently ac- 
quired a tract of several thousand acres of land in the tov\'n of 
Carver, and this department is planting large quantities of 
white and Scotch pine there every year. 

As mentioned above, white pine of good grade is still found in 
fair quantities and in pure stands distributed throughout the 
county. 

It may be well to regard briefly the distribution of the various 
types. Practically all of the types are universally distributed, 
and in nearly every case all of the various size classes are found 
in each town. 

The towns of Bridgewater, Hingham and Pembroke contain 
the highest percentages of white pine, while Abington, Plymouth, 
Rockland, Wareham and West Bridgewater contain the smallest. 
Good stands of the first quality may be found in all the towns, 
but Whitman, Scituate, Abington and Hanover are poorest in 
this respect. It may be stated here that these towns contain 
very little of the best qualitj' of any of the different types. 

Plymouth shows the highest proportion of forested land (82.5 
per cent.), but there are several other towns containing 70 per 
cent, or more of forest growth. These towns are Carver, Han- 
over, Hanson, Kingston, Lakeville, Marion, Mattapoisett, 
Middleborough, Norwell, Pembroke and Plympton. 

Brockton, Hingham, Marshfield, Scituate and Whitman have 
the smallest percentages of wooded areas. 

The best oak is found in largest proportional quantities in 
Marion, Mattapoisett, Middleborough, Plymouth, Rochester 
and Scituate. 

Maple is found mostly in cord wood sizes, but stands of first- 
class stock may be found in Lakeville, Marion, Mattapoisett, 
Middleborough, Norwell, Pembroke, Rochester and Scituate. 

The best stands of pitch pine occur in Carver, Duxbury, 
Kingston, Mattapoisett, Marion, Plymouth, Rochester and 
Wareham, all seacoast towns with the exception of Carver and 
Rochester, which are sandy plains. 

Of the non-forest types West Bridgewater contains the high- 
est proportion of agricultural land. Others of the larger culti- 



14 

vated areas are Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, Hanover, Hing- 
ham, Scituate and Whitman. 

Brockton and Whitman contain the largest proportional resi- 
dential areas, although Plymouth and Middleborough have 
actual residential areas larger than Whitman. 

Abington, Whitman and Hingham contain the largest pro- 
portional amount of pasture land. 

Marshfield, Marion and Carver have large amounts of marsh 
land, Marshfield, as the name suggests, having by far the great- 
est area of this salt marsh. 

The largest and best cranberry bogs are found in Carver and 
Wareham, while Lakeville contains more actual water area than 
any other town in the county. * 

Moth Infestation. 

Since Plymouth County contains such a proportionately 
large amount of oak as compared to other sections of the State, 
we would naturally draw the conclusion that the moth infesta- 
tion must be exceptionally large. This, however, is not true. 
Conditions here, with the exception of the town of Plymouth, 
are not much worse than those throughout the eastern part of 
Massachusetts, and at the present time the moth situation is 
such that, with careful supervision and a reasonable expendi- 
ture of money for spraying purposes, it may be kept well under 
control. ^ 

There are, however, large tracts of land forested with oak of 
poor quality, not large enough for cordwood and with little 
chance of being so for some years to come, that present a serious 
problem. These lots, most of them located in the southern part 
of the county, are situated far away from the centers, and on 
account of the poor quality of the wood, and its distance from a 
market, spraying is out of the question because of the expense 
entailed. These lots should be clean brushed and reforested 
with white or Scotch pine. The State forestry department has 
not at the present time the money to do this work, and any- 
thing that is attempted along this line must be done by the 
owners of the lands in question. 



15 



Forest Fire Protection. 

The destructive fires which have raged over the entire Cape 
country, inckiding the southern part of Plymouth County, have 
caused very serious damage to forest growth. Indeed, fire has 
been the most serious enemy of timber propagation in this sec- 
tion. The geographic location of this part of the State, together 
with the high winds which prevail at certain periods of the 
year, are conditions which make each small brush fire a poten- 
tial holocaust. 

This fire menace has been recognized for a long time by the 
residents of the Cape counties and by the State Forester's 
department. A fire tower was constructed in Plymouth by that 
town in 1905. In 1911 the office of State Fire Warden was 
established, and since then towers have been erected on high 
points in the towns of Kingston, Hanson, Hingham and Middle- 
borough. These towers, with the addition of that in Bourne in 
Barnstable County, now cover the entire area of Plymouth 
County, and statistics from the State Fire Warden's reports 
show that the fire damage in this section has been reduced 
about 75 per cent, since their erection. 

Forest Industries. 

The shoe manufacturing and cranberry raising industries 
require very large amounts of wood in the manufacture of 
boxes, crates and barrels for the shipment of their products. 
Practically all of the wood used is obtained from the county. 
In nearly every town may be found mills which saw 100,000 
board feet or more of pine and oak each year. Many of these 
mills turn out the finished product, — boxes, crates or barrels, 
as the case may be, — but a considerable number simply supply 
the boards, while others deliver their product in the form of 
shooks. The logs in almost all cases are cut short and bought 
locally by the cord, and are sawn into f-inch boards, which is 
the standard dimension for box boards. 

In addition to the manufacture of boxes, etc., several of these 
sawmills do custom work, but there is nowhere near so much of 
this done now as in former years. 

In one important respect the sawmills of Plymouth County 
differ from those located in other parts of the State. They are 



16 

permanent. Logs are hauled to them by truck or shipped by 
rail. Were it not for the many destructive fires, the fact that 
these mills are permanent ones might have had a powerful effect 
in influencing the forest types. 

Before a portable mill owner sets up his mill on a lot he 
must be sure that there are at least 200,000 feet of stock in the 
immediate vicinity that he can cut. Moving and setting up his 
mill to cut under that amount would hardly pay him unless the 
stock was exceptionally good. 

When large tracts of land are cut over a change in forest 
conditions naturally results. New species, generally hardwoods, 
take the place of the old. These hardwoods, which grow very 
rapidly during their earlier years, shade and choke out the 
young reproduction of the conifers recently cut, and after a few 
years a stand of hardwoods, often of inferior quality, occupies 
the land formerly forested with pine or other valuable trees. 

Where the mills are permanent, as in Plymouth County, the 
owner of a woodlot is not obliged to cut his lot clean. He can 
take out a few trees one year, haul them to the mill, and the 
following year cut out a few more. 

When a stand is cut gradually in this way the type under- 
goes no serious change, since the reproduction is generally the 
same as the original trees. 

To sum up the whole thing in a few words, permanent mills 
foster a system of selective cutting, and have a tendency to pre- 
serve the original species and types, while portable mills in many 
cases, through clean cutting, bring about a decided change in both. 

Poplar makes an ideal wood for staves, and as an experi- 
ment the State Forest Commission has set out about 40,000 
poplar cuttings on the State reservation in Carver. 

White pine is the species most used in the manufacture of 
box boards, but of late years pitch pine is being substituted to 
some extent. 

Stock for barrel staves is in some cases shipped from outside 
the State, some of it being loblolly pine from Virginia. Much 
of the stock, however, is obtained locally, and consists of pine 
and poplar with oak and maples for headings. Oak is used in 
the manufacture of piling and mine props. These products are 
used in the construction of docks, wharves, etc. 

No attention has been given to cedar in the various tables, 



17 

but nevertheless quite a little of this species is found in isolated 
sections of the county, and generally in swamps. This wood is 
used in the manufacture of shingles, and on rare occasions for 
barrels. It is also used for posts and poles. 

The manufacture of lobster pots may be classed as a special 
industry. Oak and white pine are used in this product, and 
there are several concerns engaged in their manufacture. 

Some years ago charcoal was produced in large quantities in 
various parts of Plymouth County. This industry has practi- 
cally disappeared. Last year this department undertook the 
manufacture of charcoal as an experiment in the town of 
Mashpee. The lot was made up entirely of oak of poor quality 
and small size class, and the wood was too far away from a 
market to be put profitably into cordwood. Three pits were 
maintained, and about 40,000 bushels of charcoal were pro- 
duced. It was thought that charcoal made from oak would not 
sell readily, but no trouble was experienced in disposing of the 
entire production in near-by towns; in fact, double the quantity 
could easily have been gotten rid of. In this experiment about 
40 bushels of charcoal were produced from each cord of wood. 

Mashpee is not a town in Plymouth County, and therefore 
these remarks are somewhat irrelevant, but they are made 
because of the fact that scattered throughout Plymouth County 
are hundreds of acres of scraggly oak and pine too far away 
from a market to be cut profitably for fuel, which the results of 
the experiment cause us to believe could be burned for charcoal 
and disposed of for at least a small profit. So far as we know 
there is but one man in the county engaged in the manufacture 
of charcoal at the present time. A bulletin containing more 
detailed information in regard to this experiment will be issued 
from the office of the State Forester in the near future. 

Other forest products of Plymouth County are pin wood, 
mallet heads, ship timbers, wagon stock and hardwood rollers. 

In this bulletin is included a list of the sawmill operators of 
the county, which gives information regarding their production, 
stock used, etc. This list is as complete as it was possible for 
us to make it in the limited time we had at our disposal. 

Following are the percentage sheets of 26 towns in the 
county. The town of Hull was not considered at all in making 
the survey, as there is not enough wood growth there to war- 



18 



rant it. These tables show the proportion of forest land to 
non-forest land, and also the relative proportions of the indi- 
vidual types of the forested areas. The tables alone could not 
be made to show the proportion of the separate type size 
classes, so they have been supplemented by diagrams from 
which may be formed an idea of the relative amounts of mer- 
chantable and non-merchantable timber of each type in each 
town. In these diagrams the proportion of non-merchantable 
sizes is represented by the inked portion of each line. 

In arranging these diagrams size classes 1 and 2 of the white 
pine and pitch pine types were combined and classed as mer- 
chantable, while in the remainder of the types classes 1, 2 and 
3 were combined and classified in the same way. The remain- 
der of the size classes was combined in each type and classed 
as non-merchantable. It will be noticed from this explanation 
that in the case of the hardwoods and mixed hardwoods and, 
pine, class 3, or cordwood class, has been listed as merchantable, 
while in the case of the pines only classes 1 and 2, containing 
lumber large enough for saw logs, were so listed.
